Planning a 2-day trip to Kaziranga? Here's a day-by-day Kaziranga itinerary with what it costs, where to stay and how to get there, ready to follow or make your own.

Why go now

The park opens in November after the floods; winter grasslands are short enough to spot rhinos, elephants and buffalo easily.

Kaziranga is a UNESCO-listed park on the Brahmaputra floodplains, home to about two-thirds of the world's greater one-horned rhinos. Tigers, wild elephants, water buffalo and huge bird populations live here too.
